Ok, I've been gone but I finally have internet and a moment to breathe. Important stuff that has happened in my S&C life over the past couple weeks:
-286lb power clean. Sweet.
-213lb press
-Re-injured left pec attempting 310 bench press. Not bad, but worse than last time. Still, if today's workout is any indication, I'm at about 90%+ capacity now.
-A couple weeks without my pull up/dip belt, and my BW pull up/chin/dip numbers have all improved from so much BW-only work.
-Missed a couple weeks of heavy squatting, front squatting, and deadlifting. Past few workouts seem to indicate that I haven't really lost any strength in those areas, but my awesome weekly deadlift progress did get interrupted. Hopefully I'll get 585 before the end of the month.
-Somehow managed to lose one of my Chucks in the move, so I'm pulling in my running shoes now:
Merrell Men's Trail Glove - Barefoot Trail Running Shoes - Merrell.com
I pulled 545-550-555
after failing 585, so I don't think switching shoes is going to be a real problem.
-Loving my new gym here.
-I've squeezed in a little grappling.
-I'm probably forgetting important stuff.
Today
Decent workout.
Bench--Still a little wary of pushing too hard w/the pec strain, or whatever it is.
135x6
185x2
225x2
250x2
275x3
275x2
280x2 (decided if I'm only going to get 2, I might as well go a bit heavier)
245x6
225x8
205xSome (close grip)
Chins--First weighted chins in almost a month.
BWx10
+45lbsx3
+90x3
+135x1
+145x1--Good enough for today. The bar is thicker, slipperier, and generally less hospitable than what I am used to, so I'm glad these felt OK.
+45x12
10:00 "Cindy"
5 Pull Ups (60)
10 Push Ups (120)
15 Squats (180)
x12 rounds. Not bad, considering it came after "real" lifting. Definitely saw some places where I could have saved time (not tallying my rounds, for example), so maybe I'll do that, and try pushing a little harder sometime when I'm fresh...it would be interesting to see how many rounds I could get (not that this was any picnic today, especially after deads and squats yesterday).
Curls.
